Soften your lips naturally with lip balm from Mad Gab's, Prairie Dawn, Moody Bee and Dagny & Lane! Contest!

Mad Gab's Wildly Natural Bodycare started as a college hobby for founder Gabrielle Melchionda and has grown into a thriving business that ships their products all over the US, Canada, Japan and the UK.  Their mission is to create natural products that are unique in appearance, effectiveness and quality with environmentally and socially responsible practices.  The packaging is adorable and their moose just makes me laugh! There is a product to moisturize just about any part of you - from lip balms to balms that moisturize your body, feet, belly or even baby!  My fave is their new Natural Lip Shimmer - $5 - made with shea butter and mango butter and comes in 3 shades: Ballet Pink, Deep Plum and Light Rose - they have a hint of colour which make them a very girly way to moisturize (and your husband won't keep stealing your balm this way)! Mad Gab's can be found at fine gift, souvenir and national park shops across Canada or online at www.tallshipstrading.com

Prairie Dawn Natural Body Products is a small company based in Edmonton, Alberta who makes ultra premium lip balm in small batches from the best ingredients including natural vegetable oils, vegetable glycerin, beeswax and are flavoured with essential oils.  These balms smell and taste delicious - and I was amazed to see that they have my very favourite scent - black licorice!  The balms are 4g and cost $4 and here is what I found most impressive is the money back guarantee - if someone buys prairie Dawn natural Lip Balm from the website and doesn't like it for any reason, they can return it and not only will the purchase price be refunded, but also the shipping both ways!  You've got nothing to lose except dry lizard lips, so get to the website and order!

And here's one you have to love just for the name - Moody Bee Beeswax Lip Balm - made by a beekeeper in Kimberley, BC.  It glides on nice and easy and it smells great - a little bit minty, a little bit sweet - just like me!  Available to buy online at www.moodybee.com and also at various retail locations across Canada, you can go here to find one near you.

Dagny & Lane makes a line of Ionic Mineral Skincare with all-natural and organic ingredients which are infused with essential ionic minerals and rich antioxidants and are free of parabens, sulfates and harsh chemicals. If that's not enough it has the most adorable packaging!

Equally adorable are the lip balms which come in 5 scents: buttercream, coconut lemongrass, strawberry, blueberry and orangecream. - 0.7oz - $4.50 - packed full of ionic minerals such as zinc, copper and magnesium allowing lips to stay hydrated longer.  I am in love with the orangecream, it smells just like a creamsicle! Go to www.dagnyandlane.com to order!

With summer leaving us and winter fast approaching, I can see all of these balms becoming an important part of my winter survival kit and we know you (and your lips) will be suffering too.  We're all about helping you out here so we put together a winter lip survival kit for one of our beloved readers.  Here's what you'll get:
